lyrics

I leaned ny back against an oak
I thought it was a trusty tree
& first it bent & then it broke
my true love had forsaken me
my dream of peace could not come true
the wind had swept our hearts away
& so I sing this song to you
tomorrow blows us all away

my lady asks: "Love have you looked?"
& I replied, "my dear, what for?
you cannot find love in a book."
"Then shall we go & look some more?"
we laughed at birds their cries of doom
we laughed at gardens wet with rain
we chased an owl up to the moon
tomorrow steals us all away.

now all the world cries: "Let me Go
you must remember what they say
tomorrow brings the fields with snow"
there must be something I can say
yr lavender is in my hands
& rosemary is far away
tomorrow turns the stars to sand
tomorrow takes us all away.
